firm, or company is, by reason of the enemy nationality or ^[^^^^7"^'
enemy association of that person, firm, or company, or of enemy
the members of that firm or company or any of them, or nationality
otherwise, carried on wholly or mainly for the benefit of or associations,
ufider the control of enemy subjects, the Board of Trade

inexpedient to do so, make an order either —
(a) prohibiting the person, .firm, or company from
carrying on the business, except for the purposes and
subject to the conditions, if any, specified in the order;
or
(h) requiring the business to be wound up.
The Board of Trade may at any time revoke or vary any
such order, and may, in any case where they have made an
order prohibiting or limiting the carrying on of the business
at any time, if they think it expedient, substitute for that
order an order requiring the business to be wound up.
(2) Where the Board of Trade make any such order they
may at the same time or at any time subsequently appoint
a controller to control and supervise the carrying out of the
order and, if the case requires to conduct the winding up of
the business, and in any case where it appears expedient to
Iv the
2 Chap. 105. Trading with the Enemy (191 4 to 1916). 5-6 Geo. V.
the Board of Trade, the Board may, as occasion requires,
confer on the controller such powers as are exercisable by a
liquidator in a voluntary winding-up of a company (including
power in the name of the person, firm, or company, or in his
own name, and by deed or otherwise, to convey or transfer
any property, and power to apply to the High Court or a
judge thereof to determine any question arising in the
carrying out of the order), or those powers subject to such
modifications, restrictions or extensions as the Board think
necessary or convenient for the purpose of giving full effect
to the order, and the remuneration of and costs, charges
and expenses incurred by the controller, and any remuner-
ation payable and costs, charges, and expenses incurred in

ness, whether before or after the passing of this Act, to such
amount as may be approved by the Board, shall be defrayed

Board of Trade think fit, be appointed controller.

resulting from the realization of any assets of the business,
whether those assets are realized as the result of an order
requiring the business to be wound up or as the result of
an order prohibiting or limiting the carr>dng on of the
business, shall be' subject to the same rules as to preferential
payments as are applicable to the distribution of the assets
of the company which is being wound up, and those assets
shall, so far as they are available for discharging unsecured
debts, be applied in discharging such debts due to creditors
who are not enemies in priority to the unsecured debts due
to creditors who are enemies; and any balance, after provid-
ing for the discharge of habilities, shall be distributed
amongst the persons interested therein in such manner as
the Board of Trade may direct :

state of war not existed, would have been payable or
transferable under this section to enemies, whether as
creditors or otherwise, shall be paid or transferred to the
custodian under the Trading with the Enemy Amendment
Act, 1914, to be dealt with by him in like manner as money
paid to him under that Act.
(4) Where there are assets of the business in enemy
territory, the controller shall cause an estimate to be
prepared of the value of those assets and also of the liabil-
ities of the business to creditors, whether secured or
unsecured, in enemy territory, and of the claims of persons
in enemy territory to participate in the distribution of any
Ivi balance

balance available for distribution, and such liabilities and
claims shall, for the purposes of this section, be deemed to
have been satisfied out of such assets so far as they are
capable of bearing them, and the balance (if any) of such
liabihties and claims shall alone rank for payment out of
the other assets of the business. A certificate by the
controller as to the amount of such assets, liabilities, claim^s
and balance shall be conclusive for the purpose of deter-
mining the sums available, for discharging the other
liabilities and for distribution amongst other persons
claiming to be interested in the business:
Provided that nothing in this provision shall affect the
rights of creditors of and other persons interested in the
business against the assets of the business in enemy terri-
tory.
(5) The Board of Trade may, on application for the
purpose being made by a controller appointed under this
section, after considering the application and any objection
which may be made by any person who appears to them to
be interested, grant him a release, and an order of the Board
releasing the controller shall discharge him from all liability
in respect of any act done or default made by him ia the
exercise and performance of his powers and duties as
controller, but any such order may be revoked on proof
that it was obtained by fraud or by suppression or
concealment of any material fact.

order made under this section he shall be guilty of a
misdemeanour punishable and triable in like manner as
the offence of trading with the enemy, and section one of
the Trading with the Enemy Act, 1914, shall apply
accordingly.

respects the business carried on by any person, firm, or
company, no bankruptcy petition or petition for seques-
tration or summary sequestration against such person or
firm, or petition for the winding up of such company, shall
be presented, or resolution for the winding up of such
company passed, or steps for the enforcement of the rights
of any creditors of the person, firm, or company taken,
without the consent of the Board of Trade, but the Board
of Trade may present a petition for the winding up of the
company by the court, and the making of an order under
this section shall be a ground on which the company may
be wound up by the court.
(8) The Board of Trade shall from time to time prepare
and lay before Parliament lists of the persons, firms, and
companies as to whom orders have been made under this
Ivii section,

force notwithstanding the termination of the present war
until determined by order of the Board of Trade.

contract entered into before or during the war with an
enemy or enemy subject or with a person, firm, or company

under section one of this Act is injurious to the public
interest, the Board of Trade may by order cancel or deter-
mine such contract either unconditionally or upon such
conditions as the Board may think fit, and thereupon such
contract shall be deemed to be cancelled or determined
accordingly.

pany, or of any members of that firm or company, and any

Sir, — I have the honour to transmit to Your Royal Highness, for the
information of your Ministers, a copy of a notice published in the press
on the 15th June, containing information for the guidance of persons
desiring to record:
(a) Debts (including bank balances) due to British subjects from
persons residing in enemy countries ;
(6) Other property in enemy countries (including securities) belonging
to British subjects.
2. The Foreign Claims Office referred to in the last paragraph of the
notice has been set up at the Foreign Office for the purpose of dealing
with all claims for the settlement of which no satisfactory machinery has
existed hitherto, and which are foreign in the sense that they are claims
by British subjects against a foreign government or by foreign nationals
against His Majesty's Government.

How to record CloAms.
We are officially informed that it has been arranged that the public
trustee shall keep a record of: —
(a) Debts (including bank balances) due to British subjects from
persons residing in enemy countries;
(h) Other property in enemy countries (including securities) belonging
to British subjects.
Any person desiring to record such claims or property can obtain the
necessary form for that purpose (Form G in the first case and Form H in
the second) from the public trustee. Applications should be made to the
Public Trustee (Trading with the Enemy Department), No. 2, Clement's
Inn, Strand, W.C.
It must be clearly understood that the action of the public trustee
will be confined to entering upon the record claims of which particulars
are supplied to him, and that it in no way commits His Majesty's Govern-
ment either to responsibility for the correctness of the claim entered, or
to taking any action on the conclusion of hostilities or otherwise for the
recovery of the debts or property in question.

MESSAGE FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING:
TO My People. — At this grave moment in the struggle between my
people and a highly organized enemy who has transgressed the laws
of nations and changed the ordinance that binds civilized Europe together,
I appeal to you.
I rejoice in my Empire's effort and I feel pride in the voluntary
response from my subjects all over the world who have sacrificed home
and fortune and life itself in order that another may not inherit the free
Empire which their ancestors and mine have built.
I ask you to make good these sacrifices. The end is not in sight.
More men and yet more are wanted to keep armies in the field and through
them to secure victory and enduring peace. In ancient days the darkest
moment has ever produced in men of our race the sternest resolve. I
ask you men of all classes to come forward voluntarily and take your
share in the fight. In freely responding to my appeal you will be giving
3^our support to our brothers who for long months have nobly upheld
Britain's past traditions and the glory of her arms.

princesses of foreign countries who may have specially exerted themselves
in providing for the nursing of the sick and wounded of foreign armies
and navies.
Fourthly. — It shall be competent for Us, Our heirs and successors,
to confer either class of this decoration upon any members of the nursing
services without restriction as to rank, or upon other persons engaged in
nursing duties whether subjects or foreign persons, who may be recom-
mended to Our notice by Our Secretary of State for War or by the First
Lord of the Admiralty, as the case may be, for special devotion and com-
petency which they may have displayed in their nursing duties with Our
Army in the Field, or in Our Naval and Mihtary Hospitals.
Fifthly. — The number of awards in the first class of the decoration
shall not exceed two per cent of the total establishment of nurses, and the
number of awards in the second class of the decoration shall not ex-
ceed five per cent of the total establishment of nurses, the allotments
to be proportionate to the number of each nursing service, provided

nevertheless that it shall be competent for Us, Our heirs and successors,
to make such additions as, under exceptional circumstances, We may deem
fitting.
Sixthly. — Recipients of the second class of the decoration shall be
eligible for advancement to the first class as vacancies may arise.
Seventhly. — Recipients of the first class of the decoration shall be
designated Members of the Royal Red Cross, and shall be entitled to the

tary of State for War as having voluntarily undertaken the duties of
estabhshing, conducting or assisting in hospitals for the treatment of sick
and wounded soldiers and sailors of Our Army and Navy, or of Our Indian
Military Forces or of the Naval and Military Forces of Our self-governing
Dominions beyond the Seas, or as having performed valuable services
with the Red Cross or kindred societies at home or abroad, or as having
otherwise rendered eminent services in the care of sick and wounded
soldiers and sailors of Our Army and Navy; and it is hereby ordained that
all persons appointed under this clause shall be regarded as honorary
members or associates, and their appointments shall be additional to the
establishment ordained in the fifth clause of this Our Royal warrant.

, confer the decoration shall be published in The London Gazette, and a
registry thereof kept in the office of Our Secretary of State for War.

ally preserve pure this honourable distinction, it is ordained that if any

become unworthy of it, her name shall be erased, by an order under the

ation shall have been conferred. And it is hereby declared that We, Our
heirs and successors, shall be the sole judge of the conduct which may
require the erasure from the register of the name of the offending person,

Order in Council of the 19th of June, 1915,
WHEREAS by Order in Council dated 17th October, 1914, provision
T T was made with respect to Dominion lands within the Railway Belt
of British Columbia for the reckoning as residence spent on a homestead
the time of an entrant on active military service when enrolled in a military
force under the authority of the Minister of Militia of Canada:
And whereas it is desired to extend this provision to include home-
steaders enrolled as members of any military force of Great Britain or of
the Allies of Great Britain in the present war: also, to make provision for
the issue of patent to such homesteaders if disabled or to their legal repre-
sentatives in the event of death, —
Therefore His Royal Highness the Governor General in Council is
pleased to order that the following sections be added to and form part of
the regulations for the disposal of Dominion lands within the railway belt
of the province of British Columbia: —
Notwithstanding anything in these regulations the time during which
an entrant is absent from his homestead, whether he is an alien or a
British subject by birth or naturalization, who has been serving or is now
serving, or who may hereafter serve as a member of any military force,
regiment, company, or corps of Great Britain or in any military force,
regiment, company or corps of the Allies of Great Britain in Europe,
Africa or elsewhere in defence of the British Empire and Allies, and also a
period not exceeding three months after his discharge as a member of such

force, regiment, company, or corps to permit him to resume his residence,
on his homestead, may be counted as residence spent on his homestead
within the meaning of these regulations.
If it is estabhshed to the satisfaction of the Minister of the Interior
that an entrant while on active service as a mem^ber of any such force of
Great Britain or its Allies or enrolled under authority of the Minister of
Mihtia of Canada, is so disabled by wounds received in battle or because
of illness resulting therefrom or from any other cause after his enrolment
as a member of such force and up to the date of his discharge therefrom,
that it is not possible for him because of such wmmds or illness or other
cause to resume occupation of his homestead and complete the conditions
of entry therefor, the Minister may forthwith issue letters patent for the
homestead in his favour. The relief in such cases may be either from
further cultivation of the homestead or from further residence thereon, or
frozii both, as to the Minister of the Interior or to any Acting Minister
of the Interior may appear fair and reasonable.
In the event of the death of such entrant in action, or from wounds
and illness or other cause as above stated, similar relief may be granted
to his legal representatives.

Registration of Alien Enemies,
Order in Council of the 26th of June, 1915.
THE Committee of the Privy Council have had before them a report,
dated 23rd June, 1915, from the Minister of Justice, stating that it
is provided by clause 11 of the regulations of 28th October, 1914, respecting
registration of aliens of enemy nationahty that no alien of enemy nation-
ality who is required to register shall be naturalized unless, in addition
to other requirements, he produces and files with his apphcation a certificate
of the registrar that he is registered pursuant to the provisions of the
ordinance, and that his application for naturalization is approved by the
registrar;
The Minister observes that registration offices were established pur-
suant to the^ authority of this ordinance at, among other places, Sydnej^,
Ottawa, Toronto, Brandon, Regina, Calgary, and Victoria, and the regis-
tration at each of these places havmg been completed the offices have
been closed and the respective registrars named for these offices have
therefore no further duties to discharge, —
The Minister, in these circumstances, recommends that the require-
ments of clause 11 aforesaid with regard to registrar's certificates for
naturalization purposes as to aliens of enemy nationality within the
registration districts of the offices aforesaid, be dispensed with.
The Committee submit the same for approval.

And whereas those provisions apply only to those persons who made

Act, and with the view of providing a more easy and ready means of bring-

following orders and regulations, namely: —
1. Every man of the Active Militia of Canada who, without the
leave of his commanding officer, absents himself from his corps while it
is on active service, and every soldier of the Canadian Overseas Expedi-
tionary Force who absents himself from his unit, without the leave of his
commanding officer, is guilty of an offence under The Criminal Code, and
on summary conviction under the provisions of Part XV of that Code is
liable to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, for a term not exceed-
ing two years.
2. Production of an attestation paper purporting to be signed by the
- accused and attested by a justice of the peace or by an officer appointed
to command a battalion or other similar unit of the Canadian Overseas
Expeditionary Force, and purporting to be an engagement by the accused
to serve in the corps or the unit from which he is charged with being
absent, shall be sufficient proof that the accused was duly enlisted into
such corps or unit; and evidence that the accused was in Canada at the
time of his surrender or apprehension and a written statement purporting
to be signed by the Adjutant General of MiHtia or by an Assistant Ad-
jutant-General that the unit to which the accused was posted or belonged
has departed from Canada for overseas service shall be prima facie proof
that the accused is an absentee without leave from such corps or unit,
and shall be sufficient to cast upon the accused the onus of proving that
his absence from the corps or unit was not illegal.
3. Nothing herein shall in any way limit or affect the power of the
military authorities to proceed against and punish an absentee without
leave according to the rules of military law; but an accused person shall
not be liable to be tried both by a military tribunal and by a civil court,
but may be tried by either of them as may be prescribed.
4. The military pay and allowances of every one who has been con-
victed of absence without leave from his corps or from the unit to which
he belongs shall be held liable to be stopped to make good any loss or
damage or destruction done or permitted by him to any arms, ammunition,
equipment, clothing, instruments, or regimental necessaries the value of
which the Minister of MiUtia and Defence had directed him to pay.

Homestead entries.
Order in Council of the 12th of January, 1916.
11 THERE AS by Order in Council dated 26th August, 1908, certain regula-
VV tions were adopted for granting homestead entry on Dominion
lands by proxy;
And whereas such regulations provided that the homesteader on whose
behalf such proxy entry is made, must appear personally before the agent
of Dominion lands within six months from the date of entry and furnish
a satisfactory declaration that he is already in residence or will be in resi-
dence before the six months expire. Should he fail to appear, the agent is
required to cancel the entry without notice at the expiration of six months
from date of entry.
Therefore His Royal Highness the Governor General in Council is
pleased to order that the regulations with regard to proxy homestead
entries, established by the said Order in Council of the 26th August, 1908,
shall be and the same are hereby amended as follows: —
Notwithstanding anything contained in the Order in Council of the
26th August, 1908, if any person who is a member of any body or force
serving with the forces of Great Britain or of any of her aUies during the
present European War, secures entry for a homestead on Dominion lands
by proxy, such entry, whether secured before or after the date at which the
entrant enlisted or was recalled for active military service, shall take the
same standing, and be dealt with in the same way as if it had been made in
person instead of by proxy; and the person on whose behalf such proxy
entry is made shall be entitled to share in the benefits of the Orders in
Council of the 8th May, 20th September and 9th December, 1915, in so far
as the same w^ould be applicable to him if his entry had been made in person.
Nothing in these regulations shall be held to confer any right or claim
upon any entrant who, being engaged on active military service as afore-
said, has failed to notify the agent of Dominion lands for the district in
which the land is situated of the fact of his being so engaged, in ample
time to enable the agent to note the fact in his records so as to prevent the
cancellation of the proxy entry for non-appearance at the end of six months
from the date thereof.
Nothing in these regulations shall be held to confer any right or claim
in the case of any proxy entry which has already been cancelled for non-
appearance, in accordance with the provisions of the Order in Council of
the 26th August, 1908.
In any case where cancellation has already been carried out in pur-
suance of the provisions of the Order in Council last mentioned, the Minister
of the Interior may restore such entry provided he finds that the land
affected thereby is still vacant and available for the purpose, and upon
restoration such entry shall thereupon become subject to the provisions
of this Order in Council.

Application for homestead entry.
Order in Council of the /{.th of February, 1916.
HIS Royal Highness the Governor General in Council is pleased to order
that the regulations for the survey, administration, disposal, and
management of Dominion lands within the Forty-mile Railv/ay Belt in
the province of British Columbia shall be and the same are hereby amended
as follows: —
Sub-sections (a) and (h) of section 19 of Order in Council of the
17th September, 1889, are hereby rescinded and the following provisions
substituted therefor:
(a) Application for homestead entry by proxy may be made by a
person applying on behalf of a husband, father, mother, son, daughter,
brother or sister, when duly authorized to do so in the form prescribed.
In such case the proxy shall appear in person before the agent of Dominion
lands for the district in which the land applied for is situated. Application
for entry by proxy shall not be accepted by a sub-agent. The homesteader
on whose behalf such entry is made must, before the expiration of six
months from the date of the entry, appear personally before the agent
for the district (not a sub-agent) and satisfy him by declaration so pro-
vided that he is already in residence or on his way to commence such
residence, and in the latter case that he will be in residence before the end
of the six months. Should he fail to appear, the agent shall cancel the
entry without notice at the end of six months from date of entry. No
extension of time within which to commence residence duties shall be
granted in connection with a proxy entry. The provisions of this para-
graph shall be retroactive so as to apply to the case of any entry made
by proxy before the coming into force of this order.
(6) Notwithstanding anything contained in the above provisions, if
any person who is a member of any body or force serving with the forces
of Great Britain or of any of her Allies during the present European war,
secures entry for a homestead on Dominion lands by proxy, such entry,
whether secured before or after the date at which the entrant enlisted or
was recalled for active military service, shall take the same standing, and
be dealt with in the same way as if it had been made in person instead of
by proxy; and the person on whose behalf such proxy entry is made shall
be entitled to share in the benefits of the Orders in Council of the 17th
October, 1914, 19th June, 1915, and 6th January, 1916, in so far as the
same would be applicable to him if his entry had been made in person.
Nothing in these regulations shall be held to confer any right or
claim upon any entrant who, being engaged on active military service as
aforesaid, has failed to notify the agent of Dominion lands for the district
in which the land is situated of the fact of his being so engaged, in ample
time to enable the agent to note the fact in his records so as to prevent the
cancellation of the proxy entry for non-appearance at the end of six months
from the date thereof.

Application for homestead entry.
Nothing in these regulations shall be held to confer any right or
claim in the case of any proxy entry which has already been cancelled for
non-appearance.
In any case where cancellation has already been carried out the Minister
of the Interior may restore such entry provided he finds that the land
affected thereby is still vacant and available for the purpose, and upon
restoration such entry shall thereupon become subject to the provisions
of this Order in Council.

An Act to conserve the Commercial and Financial Interests of Canada, it is
provided among other things that in case of war, real or apprehended,
and in case of any real or apprehended financial crisis, Our Governor in
Council may, by Proclamation published in the Canada Gazette, authorize

Now know ye that by and with the advice of Our Privy Council for
Canada We do by these presents proclaim and direct that the several

Order in Council of the 29th of February, 1916.
HIS Royal Highness the Governor General in Council, in virtue of the
provisions of sections 6 and 10 of The War Measures Act, 1914, and
for the purpose of extending the restrictions relating to trading with the
enemy to persons to whom, though not resident or carrying on business in
enemy territory, it is by reason of their enemy nationality or enemy asso-
ciations expedient to extend such restrictions, and for purposes connected
therewith, is pleased to order, and does hereby order as follows: —
1. All persons or bodies of persons incorporated or unincorporated,
resident, carrying on business or being in the Dominion of Canada, are
hereby prohibited from trading with such persons or bodies of persons
incorporated or unincorporated not resident or carrying on business in
enemy territory or in territory in the occupation of the enemy (other than
persons or bodies of persons resident or carrying on business solely within
His Majesty's Dominions) as by reason of the enemy nationality or enemy
association of such persons or bodies of persons, it appears to His Royal
Highness the Governor General in Council expedient from time to time to
indicate by way of proclamation as persons and bodies of persons with
whom by virtue of these orders and regulations such trading is prohibited.
2. If any person acts in contravention of any of these Orders and
regulations he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour triable and punishable in
like manner as the offence of trading with the enemy.
3. All the provisions of Order in Council (P.C. 2724) of the 30th day
of October, 1914, respecting trading with the enemy shall apply in respect
of such persons and bodies of persons as aforesaid, but for the purposes of
these Orders and regulations said Order in Council shall be read as if for
references therein in trading with the enemy there were substituted refer-
ences to trading witlTsuch persons and bodies of persons as aforesaid, and
for references to enemies there were substituted references to such persons
and bodies of persons as aforesaid, and for references to offences under said
Order in Council (P.C. 2724) there were substituted references to offences
under these Orders and regulations.
4. For the purposes of these Orders and regulations a person shall be
deemed to have traded with a person or body of persons to whom these
Orders and regulations or a Proclamation issued hereunder apply, if he
enters into any transaction or does any act with, to, or on behalf of, or
for the benefit of, such a person or body of persons which, if entered into,
or done with, to or on behalf of or for the benefit of an enemy, would be
trading with the enemy.
5. The incorporation by reference within these Orders and regulations
of the terms of any Statute, Order in Council, regulation or Proclamation,
shall not be held to give retroactive effect to any provision hereof.

steamships exceeding 500 tons gross tonnage from engaging in voyages
from one foreign port to another foreign port, as from the fi^st day of
December, 1915, unless the owners or charterers of such steamships had
been granted a license to so trade;
And whereas the aforesaid Order in Council authorized and directed
the President of the Board of Trade to appoint persons to carry out and
give effect to the provisions of the Order and to grant licenses where and
when desirable;
And whereas the said Order in Council of the 10th November, 1915,^
was supplemented by an Order in Council of the 15th February, 1916,
prohibiting British registered steamships in excess of 500 tons gross tonnage,
except those engaged in the coasting trade of the United Kingdom, from
proceeding on any voyage unless a license as provided for by the Order in
Council of the 10th November, 1915, has issued;
And whereas there are on the Canadian register upwards of 300
steamers with a gross tonnage of over five hundred tons, and these vessels
or any number of them may engage without interference in voyages between
one foreign port and another foreign port or between a port in Canada and
a foreign port or vice versa;
And whereas it is deemed desirable that, in the circumstances, Canadian
registered steamers should not engage in voyages from one foreign port to
another foreign port or from a port in Canada to a port in a foreign country
and vice versa, except voyages from a port in Canada to a port in the United
States of America and vice versa, without the knowledge or consent of the
Government, —
Therefore His Royal Highness the Governor General in Council is
pleased to order and it is hereby ordered as follows: —
(a) All Canadian registered steamers whose gross tonnage exceeds 500
tons are, as from the first day of April, 1916, prohibited from proceeding
on any voyage excepting voyages from a port in Canada to another port in

versa, unless a license to do so has been granted to or in favour of the
owners or charterers of such steamships ;
(6) The Minister of Marine and Fisheries is hereby authorized and
directed to appoint a Committee of persons that shall have power to grant
the licenses required by the next preceding paragraph, which may be general
in reference to classes of ships or their voyages, or special;

in this section 16A, page 7 of edition of the Regulations of 1913. When two or
more vessels belonging to the same owner are docked together for painting and
scraping or repair to propeller only, only $50 will be charged for pumping out

19 will govern where appUcable.
Should a vessel remain in dock beyond such period of 4 days or should
repairs of any kind except as herein provided be made on the vessel, then the
full rates provided by the tariff will be exacted, including the charges for first
day.
Cargoes will be charged at the same rate as tonnage, but no charge will
be made for ballast, the dock master to be the judge. Coal will be classed as
cargo.
In no case the charge for lying in dock to be less than $50 per day during
the season of navigation.
No charge for Sundays shall be made unless work be done upon the vessel.
